You’ll feel like you’re in an upscale Italian restaurant when you serve this entree with a pleasant lemon tang and a savory garlic and herb cheese sauce. No one has to know what a cinch it is! —Patricia Harmon, Baden, Pennsylvania
Ingredients:
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated angel hair pasta
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, drained
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 carton (6-1/2 ounces) reduced-fat garlic-herb spreadable cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, place tomatoes in a food processor; cover and process until pureed. Set aside.
2. Sprinkle chicken with pepper. In a large skillet, saute chicken in 2 tablespoons oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
3. Stir the spreadable cheese and pureed tomatoes into skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in lemon juice and remaining oil. Return chicken to pan; heat through. Drain pasta and serve with chicken mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
